Fougere Royale Sample

With a well-tuned nose and an impeccable vision, The House of Houbigant’s French perfumer, Paul Parquet, laid the foundation of modern perfumery in 1882 with the in-house creation of Fougère Royale. The meticulous and courtly composition evocative of cool, lush, green, fern-like woodland foliage was a genre-defining fougère and has since become the ubiquitous standard behind the world's most enduring men's fragrance classics. Re-engineered from its 1882 original to complement the modern man, Fougère Royale retains is sharp, elegant, refined and an icon of perfumery.
